Hello all,
I plan to work on the emplementation of bends for lilypond. Some
preliminary
tests with scheme were successful, so I want to go to the next stage
soon and
create some new engravers. But there are still some unsolved issues.
But first, a brief explanation for all non-guitarists out there:
a band is achieved by pressing down a string and moving it along the
frets.
The string gets bend, and the resulting tone gets higher. There are
three
variants:
1) the bend (or bend up): plucking the string, then doing the bend
2) release bend: plucking a already bent string. Sounds like a
reverse bend.
3) pre bend: bend the unplucked string, pluck afterwards. Mostly (but
not always)
followed by a release bend.
You leave out the common case of a release bend without a pluck,
following a bend. It's common in blues for example, to pluck, bend up
a whole step, then back down a half step without an intervening pluck,
for example leaving the string bent (and then of course shaking it all
around). How would you notate that?

Thanks for your hint! I wasn't referring to all possibilities, but
mainly the three fundamental parts
which can be combined to more complex bend fingures.
I would notate this as
e \bend fis \release f
(durations aside).
Thanks,
Marc
